=== Penile anatomy ===

==== Frenular delta ====
In 2001, McGrath published his discovery of a highly [[Erogenous zone|erogenous]] structure on the dorsal side of the human penis: which he named the [[frenular delta]].<ref name=":3" /><ref name=":5" /><ref name=":2" /> It is composed of the [[preputial mucosa]] and is triangular in shape.<ref name=":3" /><ref name=":5" /><ref name=":2" /> The [[Frenulum of prepuce of penis|frenulum]] is located at the tip of the triangle, the [[Ridged band|ridged bands]] form the sides of the triangle, and the [[Mucocutaneous zone|junctional rim]] forms the triangle's base.<ref name=":3" /><ref name=":5" /><ref name=":2" /> A 2006 study published in the [[Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research]] concluded that the structure was one of the most suspectable to [[Human papillomavirus infection|human papillomaviruses]] infection: "...probably because these are the most moist areas and are most subject to microtraumas during sexual activity."<ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 2)</ref>

He concluded in his 2001 report:<ref name=":2" /><blockquote>That the so-called ‘[[G-spot]]’ of males could have been ignored by [[Neuroanatomy|neuro-anatomical]] studies to the present day is extraordinary.</blockquote>

==== ''Cingulus levis'' ====
McGrath has suggested the term ''cingulus levis'' for the zone or band of [[Mucous membrane|smooth mucosa]] on the [[Foreskin|inner foreskin]].<ref name=":3" />

==== Other work ====
McGrath was a co-author of a 2011 paper<ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 2)</ref> criticizing the paper of [[Brian Morris (biologist)|Morris]] ''et al''. arguing that routine neonatal circumcision should be provided as a protection against HIV infection in parts of the [[Developed country|developed world]].<ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 2)</ref>

=== Historian ===
McGrath has also written on the history of circumcision in the country of [[New Zealand]] with Hugh Young.<ref name=":4" /><ref name=":6" />

He concluded:<ref name=":4" /><blockquote>New Zealand's highly conformist [[Caucasian race|Caucasian]] society rapidly adopted routine circumcision of children during [[World War II]], taking it to one of the highest rates in the [[Western world|Western World]]. In contrast, the native [[Māori people|Maori]] population avoided it altogether. During the late 1960s, the practice was given up precipitously, but not as quickly as in the United Kingdom. By the late 1970s, circumcision of Caucasian children had dropped below 1% only to be replaced by an influx of circumcising immigrants.</blockquote>

== Personal life ==
McGrath is opposed to [[Circumcision|routine neonatal circumcision]]: claiming that it violates [[human rights]].<ref name=":0" /><ref name=":1" />
